The lack of porn/hentai universes in the comments is refreshing.

…That being said…

Plot twist YOU never get the darksign. Just a normal mortal without. (There is precedence for normal mortals in universe, Seiglinde of Catarina).

I was starting the same job I still have. I could have made a lot more money by jumping jobs as is common in my industry. But now I have six weeks vacation. Which, for the USA, is a lot.

As someone who had depression and watched the show as it came out: IT IS NOT HEALTHY FOR YOUR DEPRESSION. It is however an excellent representation of it.

I have trained 6 people to fill my shoes in my role. 1 gave up. 1 got fired. 1 was never really a programmer and that resulted in an argument with management about the role actually needed (they call it tier 2 support but you need to be a competent programmer to debug the issues). 2 of the others took other jobs for much more pay. The last guy is still here and he’s good I guess…

But I’m tired man… Tired of explaining the same things over again. It’s not the new guy’s fault but that doesn’t change the fact that I’ve grown jaded. I tend to realize I being a jerk, apologize and tone it down. Doesn’t change the fact that my gut response is jerkish.
